Four teenagers are dead after a tornado rips through a Boy Scout Camp in Iowa. Officials say three 13-year olds and a 14-year old were killed.

48 others were injured. Most of those victims were taken to area hospitals.

The storm hit the Little Sioux Scout Ranch near the Nebraska state line Wednesday night. The Boy Scouts' troop leader, Thomas White, says he did what he could to help. "I laid in the ditch and the tornado went right over the top of me. And then I ran back to this other shelter where there were like fifty other kids and made sure they were all right. I got ahold of a walkie-talkie and I was able to radio...the doctor, and I asked him what I needed to do."

The scouts had reportedly conducted tornado drills before the twister struck.
